Jack the Ripper: CSI Whitechapel

[Jon Guy]

Gents

Have you managed to pinpoint where PC Mizen met Cross and Paul ?

[John Bennett]

John is being over-generous. Of course he has considerable similarities with the deformed Igor, and he frightens the hell out of the people on his walks - and the people not on them, come to think of it - but it was a collaborative effort. All the mistakes are his.

So any complaints, the address to write to is:

Igor
Dungeon 3B
Castle Frankenstien
Transylvania

[PaulB]

Okay, that's awesome. And I'm grateful you're not just doing the C5. I'm curious where you've put Emma Smith, as there's always been a bit of confusion as to where her attack occurred. Just very recently, here on the Casebook, it seems we figured it out as being through a covered passage next to 7 Brick Lane.

Other than the 35 illustrations, what are we to expect? Presumably there is text? Did you and Paul co-write the book?

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Andersen]

A must-read!

Exciting stuff! Really looking forward to this one...

Andersen!

Thanks, John. You and everyone involved definitely have my congratulations on this accomplishment, which I know we'll all be looking forward to.

I think the Emma Smith position was just down from the covered walkway, on Brick Lane, but north of the previously believe corner of Osborn.

I really can't wait, maps and photos are my favourite (such a geek) and the computer recreations only add to it.

Still not sure on the title

The position of Emma Smith's attack is addressed.

The book has 60,000 words of text and was a collaborative effort, though Paul was the main writer (I was Igor, the deformed assistant, by comparison).

It also includes nearly 100 images fro the Evans Skinner archives and many more from private and authors' collections.

[Esther Wilson]

This sounds amazing! Can't wait till it's released.

[John Bennett]

Hi John. I personally don't mind the top hat at all, and MUCH prefer this cover to the 'Jerusalem' one that you've had on Amazon all this time!

Hi Tom

Yes indeed, Lord knows where they got that one from!

Pardon my ignorance, but what are 'bespoke maps'?

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Maps made 'fit for purpose' if you like, showing where key places were, or where the victims were said to have been or were seen.

[John Bennett]

Was the title yours or John's Paul?

Hopefully Paul won't mind me dropping in here -

Neither is the answer, really. The working title, put forward by me in the absence of anything else satisfactory was "Jack the Ripper: Crime Scene Investigation". I wasn't keen on it, but our agent was happy to go along with it during the development stage.

The publishers basically gave it the title it now has.

[DGB]

John has quietly suggested that the top hat is lost. Hopefully it will be.

Paul B:

"John has quietly suggested that the top hat is lost. Hopefully it will be."

That will be the day...!

Jon Guy:

"Whenever I see a bleedin top hat in Ripper artwork I just calm myself down by telling myself it`s Bagster Phillips on his way to a crime scene."

Brilliant, Jon! You donŽt think that Phillips ...? I mean, he seems always to have been close to the murder sites anŽall ...

No? Oh, okay.

The best,
Fisherman

[Jon Guy]

Splendid stuff!!
